Which LI point is located 3 cun proximal to LI-11 on the lateral side of the upper arm?

• A. LI-13
• B. LI-14
• C. LI-15
• D. LI-12

Answer: (A)

Location along the LI channel and the use of cun measurements along the arm are how these points are mapped. LI-11 sits at the outer elbow, and moving up the arm along the lateral (outer) side, the next point a few cun up is LI-12, with LI-13 positioned further up about three cun proximal to LI-11. The other options lie either closer to the elbow or higher up on the shoulder, not precisely three cun up the lateral upper arm from LI-11. So the point located 3 cun proximal to LI-11 on the lateral side of the upper arm is LI-13.
